Cowboys vs. Texans Odds
It’ll be the battle of Texas at 1:00PM ET on Sunday when the Houston Texans host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. The odds currently favor the Texans at –2.5.
Game Preview:
These two teams are heading in opposite directions right now. The Texans are coming off two emotional wins over the Colts and Redskins, while the Cowboys are coming off two lackluster efforts against those same Redskins and the Bears.
Houston’s passing attack will be without left tackle Duane Brown this week after he was suspended four games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Dallas’ outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware could have a huge game if the Texans don’t find a way to slow him down without the aid of Brown. Still, this game is in Houston and the Texans are playing with a ton of confidence right now.
Line Movement & Updated Odds:
The Texans opened as a 3-point favorite for this game but now oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com currently have Houston listed as a 2.5-point favorite. The over/under total has jumped from 46.5 points to 47.5 since the opening lines were released.
